I bought this can, because it is made of metal. Some of the plastic cans leak a lot of gasoline vapors through their walls. This can is also made in the U.S.! The can itself seems to be well made. I was disappointed that the lid is made of plastic and is difficult to grip if one wants to close it tightly. Furthermore, the spout is made of plastic, is an integral part of the cap, and protrudes so much that the hazard of breaking it off in transportation is too great (perhaps, one can invert it and store it inside the gas can, but who wants to handle a spout that has been immersed in gasoline?). The problem could be solved by using a different screw lid.
